Default Re: I used to call this

Disregard the flop and result. Obviously it's irrelevant to the question of whether or not calling with AJ is a solid play.

The hands that were shown are pretty typical of bad players at this limit. The problem is that AJo is in real bad shape against the hands a lot of raising hands (and all of the raising hands of a good player). You're going to be put in an awkward position when an ace comes with 2 players in a raised pot since you will often be outkicked, not to mention facing an overpair if you make top pair with your J. With very thin straight and flush possibilities, you're almost always looking at making a little or losing a lot.

With people who play QT and A5 for a raise, you're always going to have opportunities to get action on your big hands. Just wait for them and punish these clowns when you get it.
